Religion
In The O.C.
Sandy: It's a sacred religious event. A tradition that marks a Jewish child's obligation to observe the ten commandments.
Seth: I'm sorry. And that's the problem with the Jew right there. We have no concept of marketing.
Seth: As soo as you hear "that's what friends are for" you're done.
Ryan: That song is Jewish?
Seth: It might as well be. It's a staple of every Bar Mitzvah. It's you and all your friends, your arms around each other swaying. It's awesome.
Ryab: I thought at the kids you invited went to Luke's birthday.
Seth: It's hypothetically awesome.
Young Seth: This is my funeral. Not my Bar Mitzvah. And no one showed up. And you said Summer Roberts was coming.
Seth: Jews don't believe in saints. Just really good stand up comics.
Seth: That was remarkable timing, my mom right there.
Sandy: Oy, humbug.
Seth: So what's it going to be, huh? Do you want your menorah or candy cane? Hm? Hanukkah or Christmas?
Ryan: Uh ...
Seth: Uh uh. Don't worry about it, buddy. Because in this house you don't have to choose. Allow me to introduce you to a little something that I like to call Chrismukkah.
Ryan: Chrismukkah?
Seth: That's right. It's the new holiday Ryan, and it's sweeping the nation.
Ryan: You better pray for a Chrismukkah miracle.
Seth: I've got Jesus and Moses on my side, man.
Seth: If my sense of cultural zeitgeist is accurate - and I do believe it is - this is the year that Chrismukkah sweeps the nation. Okay, people?
Kirsetn: I've invited the Nichols... or the Cooper-Nichols... or whatever they're caled these days.
Seth: They're called Gentiles. And a whole slew of them I bet. Now we're going to have to really put our heads together and so some serious Jewcruitment. Ryan, do you think you can rope in some new recruits?
Ryan: Blond hair, blue eyes. No problem, I'm a natural.
Seth: Fair point, my Aryan friend. Now, where are we going to find some Jews in Orange County? Father! I have just discovered the ideal job for you this Chrismukkah.
Sandy: Chrismukkah. Oh, leave me out of it.
Kirsten: Oh humbug.
Seth: Oy humbug.
Seth: For Chrismukkah to sweep the nation, we're gonna need an anthem.
Lindsay: Every kid grows up, stops believing in Santa. I stopped believing in my dad. And there's no pine needles to clean up.
Seth: Hey, ye of little faith. Trust those of mixed faith.
Seth: About the Yamaclaus; Holy Moses, it's beautiful.
Lindsay: What does Moses have to do with Hanakkuh?
Seth: You know, I think you're missing the point of the holiday completely.
Seth: Singing: Moses and Jesus, they both had beards.
